The Nintendo Switch 2 has a few arguments to push players, even those who already own the first Switch, to buy it. A larger screen, Joy-Con 2 that attach magnetically and have a mouse mode, and a dock capable of supporting 4K at 60 fps.
Given the sales figures for the Nintendo Switch 2, these qualities have convinced the public. Of course, for a console launch to be a success, the game catalog must be up to par. Mario Kart World serves as the headliner for the Nintendo Switch 2. Players can also enjoy titles from the first Switch in better conditions. Want to know which games run better on the new console? You can count on the Nintendo community.
Gamers unite to list the performance of Nintendo Switch 2 games
There are several "types" of games on Nintendo Switch 2. First, games exclusive to the new console like Mario Kart World. Then, ports arriving for the first time in the Nintendo ecosystem such as Cyberpunk 2077. Add to that the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, titles already available on the original Switch, but playable in better conditions on Switch 2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom fall into this category.
Many Switch games have also received an update optimizing their performance on Switch 2. Unfortunately, it is up to players to find out about the titles in question. That's why a Reddit user had the great idea of creating a subreddit about the compatibility and performance of Nintendo Switch 2 games.
At a glance, it's possible to know the frame rate and overall optimization of a title on the console based on user feedback. A game's description specifies whether it runs better, worse, or the same on Switch 2 than on Switch 1.
The forum creator updates the list based on community feedback. In just ten days, players have already done a tremendous amount of work to make the optimization of many games available on Nintendo Switch 2 known to all.
Some major titles in the catalog, such as Xenoblade Chronicles, do not benefit from any notable visual improvements (despite patch 2.2.1 received by Xenoblade Chronicles 3). It may therefore be better to wait for a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition version for titles whose optimization still leaves something to be desired.
